DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE EMBODIMENTS

Hereinafter, exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure will be described in more detail with reference to drawings. Although the drawings show the exemplary embodiments of the present disclosure, it should be understood that the present disclosure may be implemented in various forms and should not be limited by the embodiments set forth herein. Rather, the embodiments are provided to enable a more thorough understanding of the present disclosure and to fully convey the scope of the present disclosure to those skilled in the art.

FIG. 1 is a flowchart of operations of a method for processing a video provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 1, the method includes the following steps.

Step 101, a special effect video frame set with a preset special effect map in a video is obtained.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a short video application of a mobile terminal can call a camera of the mobile terminal to shoot a video. In the short video application, a large number of special effect maps are preset. A user may select a corresponding special effect map, and the corresponding special effect map is attached to a video picture to increase attractiveness of the video picture.

In some embodiments, the special effect map is rendered to an empty graph layer corresponding to a video frame through a real-time graphics rendering technology, to obtain the special effect video frame.

For example, for a portrait video picture, assuming that the user determines an eye makeup special effect map A and a lip makeup special effect map B, the user may render the eye makeup special effect map A to a graph layer a of the video frame in the video frame of a video and render the lip makeup special effect map B to a graph layer b of the video frame, thereby obtaining a special effect video frame (A+a) and a special effect video frame (B+b).

Step 102, a mask corresponding to a target feature area is extracted from the special effect video frame.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, determination of the mask is a processing process that a processed image is (wholly or partially) shielded through a selected image, figure or object to control an image processing area. The mask is configured to extract a region of interest in an image to be processed, namely, a pre-made region of interest mask is multiplied by the image to be processed to obtain an image of the region of interest, where an image value in the region of interest remains unchanged, and image values outside the region are all 0. The mask further has a shielding effect. The mask is configured to shield certain areas on the image so as to prevent the certain areas from participating in processing or calculation of processing parameters, or only process or count the shielded areas. The mask may further achieve structural feature extraction, namely, a structural feature, similar to the mask, in the image is detected and extracted through a similarity variable method or an image matching method.

In some embodiments, in the special effect video frame, the mask corresponding to the target feature area may be extracted through related codes of mask extraction in an Open Source Computer Vision Library (opencv), and the mask corresponding to the target feature area may be output and obtained by inputting a special effect video frame image into the opencv and dividing the target feature area. For portrait processing in the video, the target feature area may be a face area.

FIG. 2 shows a mask provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. FIG. 2 shows a mask 10 obtained by extracting a face area 20 of a portrait image, and a part of the face area is shielded with a finger when a user shoots the portrait image, so that a corresponding hand shielded area 30 exists in the mask 10. In the mask 10, an area, without the hand shielded area 30, in the face area 20 may serve as a mask area, so that interference in the mask area by processing of a makeup special effect in the face area 20 can be avoided in the later period.

Step 103, if a shielded area exists in the target feature area of the mask, a weight value of the special effect video frame is determined according to topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame, the mask and a preset legal key point.

In this step, referring to FIG. 2, if it is detected that the shielded area 30 exists in the mask 10, the weight value of the special effect video frame may be determined according to the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame, the mask, and the preset legal key point.

In the scene of processing of a portrait, the special effect video frame may be a face image, and acquisition of the topological relation information corresponding to the face image may include: selecting a plurality of key points in the face image through a face detection technology, and further determining a mesh topological connection relation among an expansion point and the plurality of key points based on the plurality of key points so as to obtain the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame.

In addition, determination of the legal key points may include: selecting a standard face image, selecting a plurality of standard key points in the standard face image through the face detection technology, and taking the plurality of standard key points as the legal key points.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, determining the weight value of the special effect video frame according to the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame, the mask and the preset legal key point may include: mapping the mask to an empty graph layer with a preset size according to the legal key point and a mapping relation expressed by the topological relation information, where after corresponding transparency is set for the empty graph layer, the empty graph layer records all rendering results of a rendering operation on a special effect map in the special effect video frame before the current moment, and the results may be reflected by channel information of the empty graph layer. Therefore, the weight value of the special effect video frame may be further determined through the channel information of the empty graph layer.

Step 104, a corresponding replacing video frame is generated according to the special effect video frame and the weight value.

In this step, if there is only one special effect video frame, after the special effect video frame and the weight value of the special effect video frame are determined, related parameters of the special effect map in the special effect video frame may be multiplied by the weight value to obtain a modified replacement video frame, where compared with the original special effect video frame, special effect display intensity of the special effect map of the replacement video frame is changed. According to different weight values, changes of the special effect display intensity include but are not limited to enhancement, reduction, complete erasure and the like.

If there are a plurality of special effect video frames, after the special effect video frames and weight values of the special effect video frames are determined, the plurality of special effect video frames may be subjected to weighted mix to obtain a mixed replacement video frame. The mixed replacement video frame has a plurality of special effect maps, and the different special effect maps have different display effects in the replacement video frame according to the corresponding different weight values.

Step 105, the corresponding special effect video frame in the video is replaced with the replacement video frame.

In this step, after the corresponding special effect video frame in the video is replaced with the replacement video frame, in a process of playing the video, the special effect display intensity of the corresponding special effect map in the video is changed under an effect of the weight value so as to achieve the purpose of modifying the special effect display intensity of the special effect map.

In summary, by means of a method for processing a video provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the special effect video frame set with the preset special effect map in the video may be obtained. In the special effect video frame, the mask corresponding to the target feature area is extracted. If the shielded area exists in the target feature area of the mask, the weight value of the special effect video frame is determined according to the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame, the mask and the preset legal key point. According to the special effect video frame and the weight value, the corresponding replacement video frame is generated. The replacement video frame replaces the corresponding special effect video frame in the video. In the present disclosure, through the mask with the shielded area, the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame and the legal key point, the weight value of a correction degree of the special effect map is determined. When shooting the video, the user may shield an area with the special effect map through a body or other objects to achieve real-time special effect display intensity adjustment of the special effect map in the area, and during an entire adjustment process, the user only needs to shield a picture instead of setting the related parameters, so that a process of the special effect display intensity adjustment is simplified, and smoothness of the special effect display intensity adjustment is improved.

FIG. 3 is a flowchart of steps of another method for processing a video provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure. As shown in FIG. 3, the method may include the following steps.

Step 201, a special effect video frame set with a preset special effect map in a video is obtained.

Implementation of this step is similar to implementation of step 101 above, so the implementation of this step will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Step 202, in the special effect video frame, a mask corresponding to a target feature area is extracted.

Implementation of this step is similar to implementation of step 102 above, so the implementation of this step will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Step 203, a size of the mask is increased according to a preset multiple.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, since a picture in the video is displayed dynamically, a position of the target feature area in the picture will further change continuously along with dynamic changes of the video picture. The mask may be unable to cover the target feature area, resulting in incomplete correction of the special effect map.

Therefore, in this step, the size of the mask may be enlarged by the preset multiple, so that the mask can always completely cover the target feature area during the dynamic changes of the video picture.

For example, in the video with a portrait picture, a person often moves his/her head, such as turning the head and nodding. After the size of the mask corresponding to a face area is enlarged, it may be ensured that when the head is turned in the picture, the face area can be completely covered with the mask, so that mistreatment of the special effect map is avoided.

Step 204, fuzzy treatment is performed on the mask.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, after the size of the mask is enlarged, fuzzy treatment may be further performed on the mask. Specifically, a linear interpolation method may be adopted to perform the fuzzy treatment, wherein the fuzzy treatment of the mask may further specifically be feathering treatment on an edge of the mask. The purpose of performing the fuzzy treatment on the mask is to enhance softness of a processing effect of the special effect map, and to avoid a too sharp processing effect of the special effect map.

Step 205, a plurality of video frames in the video are extracted according to a preset time period.

In this step, the video frame may be extracted from the beginning of the video every preset time period until the end of the video, and finally the plurality of video frames are obtained. In addition, video frame extraction may further be carried out in the video in a random order according to the preset time period to obtain the plurality of video frames, which is not limited in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Step 206, a plurality of target key points of the target feature area in the video frame are collected.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, the plurality of target key points of the target feature area in the video frame may be selected through a key point detection technology.

For example, for a portrait processing scene, the plurality of key points in a face image may be selected through a face detection technology, where the key points are often location points of a facial feature outline in a portrait.

Step 207, relative position vector information among the plurality of target key points is taken as topological relation information.

In this step, on the basis of the plurality of key points, an expansion point connected to the key point and the relative position vector information among the plurality of key points are further determined, so that topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame is obtained, wherein the expansion point and the relative position vector information among the plurality of key points may be selected by a graphic designer.

Step 208, if a shielded area exists in the target feature area of the mask, a weight value of the special effect video frame is determined according to the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame, the mask and a preset legal key point.

Implementation of this step is similar to implementation of step 103 above, so the implementation of this step will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In some embodiments, step 208 may include sub-step 2081.

Sub-step 2081, if a non-mask area exists in the target feature area of the mask, the weight value of the special effect video frame is determined according to the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame, the mask and the preset legal key point.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, if there is an area with a pixel value 0 in the target feature area of the mask, the area with the pixel value 0 may be determined as the non-mask area. The non-mask area is configured to reflect the shielded area. In the mask, a background area outside the non-mask area and the target feature area may be transparent. A mask area is an area of interest, and a pixel value of an image in the mask area remains non-zero and unchanged.

In some embodiments, step 208 may further include sub-steps 2082-2088.

Sub-step 2082, a legal image of a preset size is obtained. The legal image includes the target feature area.

In this step, in the portrait processing scene, the legal image with the preset size may be a standard face front view with a preset size; and through a face recognition technology, the face area of the standard face front view may be determined as the target feature area.

Sub-step 2083, the legal key point is extracted from the target feature area of the legal image.

In this step, in the portrait processing scene, through the face detection technology, the legal key point may be extracted from the face area of the standard face front view, and the legal key point may be a point on the facial feature outline.

Sub-step 2084, the mask corresponding to the video frame image is mapped to an empty graph layer with a preset size according to the topological relation information, the mask and the legal key point.

In this step, the topological relation information may include a grid diagram constructed by the key points according to relative position vectors among the key points, where a triangular grid is formed among the key points, by combining the topological relation information and the legal key point, the mask corresponding to the video frame image may be mapped to the empty graph layer with the preset size in a legal way, and all rendering results of rendering operation on the special effect map in the special effect video frame before the current time may be reflected by channel information of the empty graph layer.

Sub-step 2085, after transparency to the empty graph layer is set to a preset degree, the weight value of the special effect video frame is obtained according to the channel information of the empty graph layer.

In this step, after the transparency of the empty graph layer is set to the preset degree, the empty graph layer is changed from a previous rgb (red channel, green channel, blue channel) format to an rgba (red channel, green channel, blue channel, transparent channel) format, so that the weight value of the special effect video frame may be obtained according to the channel information of the empty graph layer, where a degree value of the transparency may be determined by the graphic designer.

For example, assuming that a user determines an eye makeup special effect map A and a lip makeup special effect map B, the user may render the eye makeup special effect map A to a graph layer a of the video frame in the video frame of the video, and render the lip makeup special effect map B to a graph layer b of the video frame, so as to obtain a special effect video frame (A+a) and a special effect video frame (B+b).

Mixing the special effect video frame (A+a) and the special effect video frame (B+b) by using the channel information of the empty graph layer to obtain a corresponding replacement video frame includes: setting a pixel color on the special effect video frame (A+a) as ColorCA (u, v), where u and the v are texture coordinates. A pixel color on the special effect video frame (B+b) is ColorCB (u, v). A color of the transparent channel in the empty graph layer is alpha (u,v), then a color of each pixel in the replacement video frame is ColorC (u,v), ColorC (u,v)=ColorCA (u,v)×Alpha (u,v)+ColorCB (u,v)×(1−Alpha (u, v)), wherein the Alpha (u,v) may serve as a weight value of the special effect video frame (A+a), and the (1−Alpha (u, v)) may serve as a weight value of the special effect video frame (B+b).

In sub-step 2086, the pixel value of each pixel in the empty graph layer is extracted.

In some embodiments, sub-step 2086 may further include sub-steps A1 and A2.

Sub-step A1, the empty graph layer is sent to a central processing unit through a graphics processor.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, other operations before sub-step 2086 are implemented through the graphics processor. When pixel value extraction of each pixel in the empty graph layer is started, the empty graph layer may be sent to the central processing unit through the graphics processor, and the central processing unit realizes the pixel value extraction of each pixel in the empty graph layer, which may improve extraction efficiency.

Sub-step A2, the pixel value of each pixel in the empty graph layer is extracted through the central processing unit.

In this step, the central processing unit realizes the pixel value extraction of each pixel in the empty graph layer, which may improve the extraction efficiency.

In sub-step 2087, a swipe area value is determined according to the pixel value corresponding to each pixel.

In this step, determining the swipe area value according to the pixel value corresponding to each pixel includes: from all the pixels, target pixels whose pixel values are greater than a preset pixel value are selected, the pixel values of the target pixels are summed up, and a result of sum is divided by the number of the target pixels to obtain the swipe area value.

In sub-step 2088, if the swipe area value is greater than or equal to a preset threshold value, the special effect map in the special effect video frame is replaced with another special effect map.

In the embodiments of the present disclosure, a swipe area may be configured to reflect a degree to which the target feature area of the special effect video frame is affected by the shielded area. Therefore, according to the swipe area value, when to perform the next special effect map correction may be judged. Specifically, after the corresponding transparency of the empty graph layer is set, the empty graph layer records rendering results of all the rendering operations on the special effect map in the special effect video frame before the current moment, and when the swipe area value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, the special effect map in the special effect video frame may be replaced with another special effect map.

For example, if there are the two special effect maps A and B, as well as the special effect video frame (A+a) and the special effect video frame (B+b) corresponding to the two special effect maps A and B, when the swipe area value is greater than or equal to the preset threshold value, the special effect maps A and B in the special effect video frame (A+a) and the special effect video frame (B+b) may be exchanged. The purpose of exchanging respective weight values of the special effect video frame (A+a) and the special effect video frame (B+b) is achieved and reflected in the video picture, namely, the user may achieve an effect of exchanging the special effect maps A and B in the picture through influences of the shielded area on the target feature area.

In addition, the special effect maps A and B in the special effect video frame (A+a) and the special effect video frame (B+b) may further be replaced with new special effect maps C and D to obtain a special effect video frame (C+a) and a special effect video frame (D+b), and respective weight values of the special effect video frame (A+a) and the special effect video frame (B+b) are assigned to the corresponding special effect video frame (C+a) and the corresponding special effect video frame (D+b). It is reflected in the video picture, namely, the user may achieve the purpose of replacing the special effect maps A and B in the picture with the other special effect maps C and D through the influences of the shielded area on the target feature area.

Step 209, the corresponding replacement video frame is generated according to the special effect video frame and the weight value.

Implementation of this step is similar to implementation of step 104 above, so the implementation of this step will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

Step 210, the corresponding special effect video frame in the video is replaced with the replacement video frame.

Implementation of this step is similar to implementation of step 105 above, so the implementation of this step will not be described in detail in the embodiments of the present disclosure.

In summary, by means of another method for processing a video provided by the embodiments of the present disclosure, the special effect video frame set with the preset special effect map in the video may be obtained. The mask corresponding to the target feature area is extracted from the special effect video frame. If the shielded area exists in the target feature area of the mask, the weight value of the special effect video frame is determined according to the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame, the mask and the preset legal key point. According to the special effect video frame and the weight value, the corresponding replacement video frame is generated. The replacement video frame replaces the corresponding special effect video frame in the video. In the present disclosure, through the mask with the shielded area, the topological relation information corresponding to the special effect video frame and the legal key point, the weight value of a correction degree of the special effect map is determined. When shooting the video, the user may shield an area with the special effect map through a body or other objects to achieve real-time special effect display intensity adjustment of the special effect map in the area, and during an entire adjustment process, the user only needs to shield a picture instead of setting related parameters, so that a process of the special effect display intensity adjustment is simplified, and smoothness of the special effect display intensity adjustment is improved.
